A Little Piece of History
José Luis Campos, Spanish Visual Artist. Born in 1948 in Galicia. Graduate of the Panamerican Institute of Art in 1974 (Buenos Aires-Argentina). Dedicated to painting from a very early age. However, it was not until 2020 that he ventured into sculpture, under the guidance of renowned Málaga sculptor Virgilio Rodríguez. He developed techniques and concepts with recyclable materials in most of his works, recreating an atmosphere that captivates by the concept, in a constant search to find the balance between the real and the imaginable. He tends to render in his works a peaceful line with certain details.
In his paintings he pays close attention to a reduced palette to produce a uniform work with few details. A lover of the pre-Columbian cultures of South America, particularly Peru, he developed there a mixed Indigenous/Abstract technique some years ago, which today has wide acceptance among collectors. His works have generally been acquired by collectors in several countries such as: USA, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Portugal, Italy, Slovakia, Finland, Switzerland, Japan, Greece, Ireland, Austria, France, Canada, Spain, Sweden, Iceland, Norway, England, China. He also has more than 25 international solo and group exhibitions, in addition to honorary diplomas, nominations, awards and recognitions, art books, press and television. Etc. For example, the book “Historias de Pintores” by the prominent Málaga writer Joaquín Palmerola, the art book Itaca published in Soria, Spain, contemporary art 2003 Sevilla Art Fair, among others. José Luis Campos signs his paintings by hand on the front and back of the work, in addition to delivering a certificate of authenticity to the buyer. It is almost a challenge to describe this multifaceted artist, as he prefers viewers to form their own conclusions about his work. For Campos, a work is a struggle between the artist and the canvas; you know where you begin, but never where you end.
